How to Duplicate a LiveFlow Report
There are two primary ways to create a live copy of an existing report. Both methods ensure your data remains connected and manageable via the LiveFlow extension.
Method 1: Using the LiveFlow Extension
This is the most direct way to ensure the new sheet is automatically recognized by the extension.
Open the Report: Navigate to the specific LiveFlow report tab you wish to copy.
Access the Menu: Go to Extensions > LiveFlow.
Select Duplicate: Click on Duplicate current sheet and live report.
Result: A mirror duplicate is created immediately with LiveFlow already enabled and ready to go in the "Manage Reports" section.
Method 2: Using the Google Sheets Shortcut
Use this method if you want to move the report into a different or existing spreadsheet.
Select the Tab: Right-click the report tab name at the bottom of your Google Sheet.
Copy the Sheet: Select Copy to > Existing Spreadsheet.
Verify Connection: Once the sheet is copied, open the destination spreadsheet.
Enable Management: Go to Extensions > LiveFlow > Manage Reports.
Confirm: Verify that the new report appears in the list to ensure the live connection is active.
